FAQ
Everything we get asked, answered properly.
Four categories, thirty answers, no marketing deflection. If something is missing, ask us and we will add it.
Quick answer
PressCosmos is a press release distribution and AI visibility platform. Releases cost from $149 with no subscription, are reviewed by human editors, publish to 2,400+ media destinations across 68 countries in a median of 42 minutes, and include pickup, backlink and AI citation reporting.
General
PressCosmos is a press release distribution and AI visibility platform. You write or upload an announcement, our editors review it, and we syndicate it to newswire partners, trade media, regional press and AI answer engines while tracking every pickup, backlink and AI citation you earn.
Traditional wires optimise for a press release existing on the internet. PressCosmos optimises for your announcement being found, quoted and repeated — by journalists, by search engines and by AI assistants. Every release ships with answer-engine formatting, structured data and entity markup by default.
Median time from approved submission to first live pickup is 42 minutes on Amplify and Newsmaker plans. Launch plan releases go live within four business hours, and the crisis lane publishes in under 60 minutes at any hour.
Yes. Every release passes a human editorial review for accuracy, newsworthiness, disclosure requirements and formatting. We approve 98% of submissions, usually with suggested improvements rather than rejections.
PressCosmos supports 24 languages including Arabic, Hebrew and Hindi in right-to-left and complex scripts. Translation is handled by specialist PR translators, not generic engines, and each language variant gets its own indexable page.
We offer a free review and a limited free tier for qualifying non-profits, student projects and public-interest announcements. Paid plans start at $149 per release with no subscription required.
Every plan includes a hosted analytics dashboard with a live pickup map, syndicated URL list, backlink inventory, referral traffic, sentiment scoring and — on Amplify and above — AI share-of-answer tracking across nine answer engines.
We guarantee delivery to our contracted network lanes and we publish a live pickup log for every release. We do not guarantee that an individual journalist will write about you, because no ethical distributor can honestly promise editorial coverage.
AI visibility
AEO is Answer Engine Optimisation — structuring content so it can be lifted as a direct answer. GEO is Generative Engine Optimisation — being cited inside AI-generated responses. LLMO is Large Language Model Optimisation — making your brand factually retrievable and correctly described by models. PressCosmos applies all three to every release.
We publish each release as clean semantic HTML with NewsArticle and Organization structured data, a plain-language summary block, stable canonical URLs and machine-readable feeds, then allow the major AI crawlers in robots.txt. Combined, those signals make your announcement retrievable, quotable and attributable.
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews, Meta AI, Grok and You.com. Share-of-answer tracking reports how often and how accurately your brand appears in responses for your tracked question set.
No, it compounds it. Search rankings and AI citations draw on overlapping signals: authority, entity clarity, structured data and third-party corroboration. A press release strategy serves both at once.
Pricing
No. Launch, Amplify and Newsmaker are pay-per-release with no recurring commitment. Studio is an optional monthly plan for teams publishing regularly.
You receive a credit for the full amount and a written explanation with suggestions for making the announcement publishable. Rejections are rare and almost always about missing disclosure or unverifiable claims.
Yes. Upgrades apply instantly to any release not yet published, and the difference is prorated. Published releases cannot be retroactively upgraded because the syndication has already happened.
Yes. Agencies distributing ten or more releases per month, and any organisation running a Studio plan, get volume pricing starting at 22% below list. Contact our sales team for a workspace quote.
Distribution
Delivery depends on your plan tier, industry and geography. Our network spans financial newswires, technology and trade media, regional dailies, broadcast desks, aggregators and AI answer engines. Every release includes a published list of the destinations it was delivered to.
Yes. Targeting can be set by country, region, state or metro area, and combined with industry verticals. Localised targeting typically lifts regional pickup rates by 30-60% over untargeted distribution.
Hosted release pages are permanent and never expire, and syndicated copies live as long as the receiving outlet keeps them published. We never delete a release from our own index.
Yes. Corrections are published as clearly labelled updates with a visible revision note and updated timestamp, preserving the original record so journalists see exactly what changed and when.
